Figure 2

Columns indicate the mean proportion of each of the three habitat types (forest/brushland, upland grassland, and grassland drainage) occupied by pigmy mice (BATA), white-footed mice (PERO), fulvous harvest mice (REFU), hispid cotton rats (SIHI), and red imported fire ants (RIFA), Texas A&M University Range Area, fall 1991, spring 1992, and fall 1992. Points indicate mean abundance (±SE) per trapping point (100 m² area) in each of the three habitat types.
